al-Kalabadhi

Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Kalabadhi al-Bukhari was a Hanafi scholar from Bukhara known for his work al-Ta'arruf li-Madhhab Ahl al-Tasawwuf, which attempts to show the compatibility of Sufi doctrine with orthodox Islamic theology. This work was influential in reconciling mystical tendencies within Sunni Islam. He represents a scholarly approach to evaluating early Sufi claims against the Quran and Sunnah.
